[Skiboot] [PATCH] hdata: Ignore unnamed memory reservations.

Hostboot should name any and all memory reservations that it provides.
Currently some hostboots export a broken reservation covering the first
256MB of memory and this causes the system to crash at boot due to an
invalid free because this overlaps with the static "ibm,os-reserve"
region (which covers the first 768MB of memory).

According to the hostboot team unnamed reservations are invalid and can
be ignored.
